Emeraldene Inn & Eco-Lodge

Nice environment, felt like a resort kind of stay with balcony which was great. The room was very nice and clean, great stay!

Matt and his girls made us most welcome when we finally arrived at Emeraldine Inn after a hectic evening of trying to navigate with a smart-phone which refused to navigate. Our room was clean, cool, and exceptionally comfortable in every regard and greatly appreciated in our exhausted condition. We had safe, well lit, and convenient parking. Awoke in what has to be one of the most beautiful spots in the world to wonderful bird music. Our stay here was much too short and I wish we'd had more time to fully explore the spectacular natural setting. Highly recommend.

This was an unexpected delight in Hervey Bay that exceeded my expectations. It turned out to be charming! It is set in a gorgeous extensive garden and the lodgings made for a uniquely Australian experience. There were birds in the morning, a deck attached to room, a huge well appointed clean and quiet room with all amenities provided to be able to have coffee and cook breakfast if you so choose. The host went above and beyond to introduce tours for Fraser Island, store my car was I was away for one night, give directions and assist me with all the other questions someone new to Hervey Bay would have even though I arrived late. Can't recommend this accommodation enough!

Really loved the tranquillity of the tropical lush surrounds. Dani & Matt were very considerate hosts and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Beds were super comfortable, loved the little balcony, The room was very clean.

We have been regulars here for some time but this was our first visit with the present owners. They were very friendly and helpful. We were able to enjoy time in the pool with our Hervey Bay dwelling grandchildren. While we have never had a problem with cleanliness before these folk have taken it up a notch. It felt like the unit had been steam cleaned. Lovely! We can recommend Emeraldine as a comfortable and welcoming stay in Hervey Bay.

We had been planning our Australia trip for over 3 years after Covid delays but even with 5 weeks of travelling to choose from - we all agree that our Lady Elliot Island was the absolute highlight that we will never forget. Our eco-lodge was simple but clean, comfortable and peaceful and only a few steps from the sea. The island was idyllic and the staff so friendly. We loved the sunset drinks on the beach each day and we were able to have a special cake and nibbles evening for my husband's birthday. The snorkelling was fantastic - couldn't believe wall the things we saw. Manta rays, loads of Turtles who happily let us scratch their shells (as the staff told us they enjoyed this!). One HUGE stingray and a reef shark which were exciting. We loved the range of fish and choices of snorkelling on the reef whenever you fancied walking off the beach. The food each day was plentiful and even our picky eater found something she liked. She also loved the Buffet Bandit birds (as they were known)! Our son got to sit up front in the plane ride over which he will never forget. The colours of the sea and reef will stay with us forever. Thank you so much for all your help planning this visit. It was absolutely out of this world.
